Walgreens

Watch out for the old Philippinoes man that worked at the photo section. He’s grumpy and he will tell you the way it is and don’t care about customer opinion. I saw a kid trying to buy chips and he went up to him to pay for it, he just pointed to the cashier to the front. I don’t know to either laugh or sorry for the kid. There’s no customer service. Overall, I loved this Walgreen, easy to get meds and stuff.

This pharmacy staff deserve 0 star if I could for their customer service from technicians (especially the Philippino lady) to the pharmacist. They don’t even look at you as if you are not there even though you stand right in front of the waiting line. They seem to be extremely busy all the time. Wait time at least 1 hour for your prescription. Don’t bother to drop off or pick up via the drive through. They don’t even peek at you unless you buzz them. Avoid if you can as we did.

They are very generous helping the community providing Flu shots at indian independence day.
Carlos the manager was friendly and informative. Kim assured me she is a pro and it will not hurt. Wala she was correct it did not hurt at all.
Make extra the drive to Walgreens Blacow they are the best.

This is my first time at this Walgreens and I just have to say, any of the workers here that I came in contact with? So so nice and helpful. The cashier was a slightly older lady and honestly, so adorable and so friendly, I left the place smiling, and all I needed to get there was those little nose pad thingies for my glasses.

This place deserves 0 stars. This is the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. The photo and the pharmacy staff cannot even apologize for mistakes on their end. They avoid taking the blame and instead accuse the customer. Just this week, there have been two incidents that have left me angry and disrespected all because of their own mistakes. Not to mention service is very, very slow.
In summary:
The people working at this Walgreens are incompetent and cannot say sorry.
Avoid this Walgreens at all cost!

4 stars for the employees. Everyone is always so nice. Although the store is older and smaller then the other Walgreens in the area, their employees make up for it with a smile and readiness to help.

This is an older Walgreens in the Meadow Square Shopping Center next to Thrift Town in the Irvington & Blacow area of Fremont. It is also near Irivington High School.
It’s a pretty decent sized Walgreens even has it’s own Drive Thru Pharmacy. However, it is not a 24 Hour Walgreens. It is open 8 AM — 10 PM daily. Plenty of parking spaces too, the shopping center doesn’t get as much business. Shopping Carts and Hand Baskets available throughout the store for use.
I just stopped by to refill my Clipper Card and it was my first time at this Walgreens. While waiting in line at the Photo Department, this lady in front of us were purchasing things that were on sale. The cashier was ringing her items up, and there were some price descriptancies. The cashier, a white male working at the Photo Department was very nice and patient listening to the customer telling him the prices were incorrect. The items she had wanted only rang up to be 25% off, when it should have been 50% off. The cashier went to go check and the lday was right they should have been rung up as 50% off not 25% off.
Once I heard that, my mom also heard that so we got out of the line to go check and see what they had because they were pretty good buys for 50% off. They had clothing and shoes for 50% off and a pretty good selection too. We found some we wanted and proceeded back to the Photo Department. The cashier had already left and so I went and got him. Asked him if I could get Clipper Service. He was said and was very nice and courteous.
We had a question regarding whether the jacket we saw was 50% off or not. as he was about to go check, it so happens that his manager was walking out of the office and so he just asked his manager if it was 50% off. His manager said it was, so he gave us 50% off.
Bought a jacket and a pair of boots for 50% off. Great buys, we scored today!
Then did the regular Clipper Service and we were on our way.
Our Cashier was very friendly and patient. It seems that this Walgreens doesn’t necessarily get that much business. Nonetheless, we were happy with our visit. Quick service, no line at all really.

Rude costumer service. Does it hurt to smile? Just stop once. Not comming back… Def no stars

I mostly come here for their Redbox machine. I usually avoid buying anything inside the store. I used to get my prescriptions here and the pharmacy was alright. During flu season, they also provide flu shots — I’ve gotten mine here once or twice.
One of the more annoying things about this Walgreens is the often long lines for the checkout register. There can be 5 – 6 people waiting in line yet there is only one register open. The cashiers also take their sweet time and chat with other employees or a customer to the point where I’ve actually had to wait for them to finish their conversation.
Many high school students come here during lunch. I came in at noon recently and I guess the employee mistook me as a high school student and told me in an annoyed tone as I walked through the door, «if you’re not buying anything then get out!» I originally came in to buy a pack of gum but after seeing her rude attitude I just turned around and left.

This is a small Walgreens that typically meets my needs. I have found the staff to be helpful when I can find them to help. It carries all the basics you would expect. This is not a place to find bargains, but to pick up that cough syrup or ointment you may need in a pinch. You can still get film developed here. There is a photo center.

I would check the date on the perishables there. Went in to get milk and they were a month old. yuuuuckk where is the Berkeley Farms delivery person? The goddess in cosmetics, now she rocks. Always helpful, kind, funny, sweet.

I’d give 5 stars, but sorry their logic just didn’t make any sense. But anywho, I will say they were out of the flu meds as well, but they didn’t blow me off like the rude woman at the mowry location. She said, let me call all other Walgreens pharmacy to see if they have it in.
She said to give her 20 mins, and she did call me. No mess or fuss, all my insurance BS was there and all I had to do was pick it up. I’m definitely grateful she helped me in my time of need. I’m very sick, and couldn’t wait any longer for relief, so for her she made up for all other mishaps!
Also the pharmacist at the time was VERY helpful, she went thru ever single step with me until I got it. I love it when people just really care. So thank you to her as well!
Thank you! I can’t wait to start feeling better!
To a pharmacy who seems to care! (and actually do their jobs!)

I drop by here only if I need the infrequent prescription. If it’s faxed in through my doctors office, or I send in a refill order, it is always ready on time, so there is no waiting around. The pharmacy staff is quick and friendly, even under circumstances like when customers who don’t have any refills left want one.
They also have a good selection of drug store items available.
The only negative about this Walgreen’s is that it is smaller than most, and the aisles are narrow.

I was tryiing to ask a question, and while I was explaining something, the person interrupted me and put me on hold. How rude :(.

The pharmacy staffs here are so rude, impatient! They even cut you off when you’re still speaking on the phone, or told you that you don’t have any pending prescription before checking closely.

Terrible photo and customer service. When I went to pick up my photos from an online order from their website, they had not been printed. Not only this but they had someone else’s photos printed under my name. This means that they have inconvenienced two partys. I do not believe they are organized or careful in handling their orders. In addition, the employee who was working at the photo service insisted that the photos were mine (since they were under my name) even when I tried to explain to her that the people in the photos were Caucasian and I am clearly Asian. I was very dissatisfied after this experience at their photo center and will not be returning to this Walgreen’s.

My fiancée kids live in two different households. We were on vacation and was not given one of the kids inhaler, which has no more refills. We were concerned because her asthma tends to act up in the winter. While on the road to our vacation destination, I called the Dr.‘s office to request for refills and they told us all we have to do is contact the pharmacy and have them request for us. We call the Walgreens in Fremont on Balcow and Grimmer to request refills. They immediately fax the request to the doctor office and the next day we received a called to pick up the inhaler. Of course we couldn’t pick it up at the Fremont location so they told us to contact a near by Walgreens and pick it up from there. Thank goodness for Walgreens!

I actually like this Walgreen. It’s just a block from where i live and they have things i needed from ice cream to my passport pictures to a last min xmas gift (with wrappings).even things you saw on TV guide. Thank you Walgreens!

My mother said, if you have nothing nice to say.. . Unilocal it!

I go to this store when I need cold medicine on my way home from my son’s daycare.
They have some groceries, but it’s the kind you would buy if they were the only place open, and they’re never open more than Albertson’s or Food Maxx.
It’s little.
It’s too jam-​packed with stuff.
It’s really about 2−½ or 2−¾ stars
I think if they were in a less convenient location they would go out of business.
That being said… there have been times I’ve been very glad they were there for me.
